Elementary and the introduction of a transgendered muse Mrs. Hudson. Love Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Lui, really.

Sad at the end of Justified for ten months. Didn't see Hannibal due to watching Elementary, but it's hard to see anybody approaching, much less topping, Sir Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Lecter.]]>

Hannibal was very good, I thought. I can not wait to see more. though it does suck that it comes on at the same time as Elementary.

I thought Hannibal wasn't bad, certainly better than The Following which is pretty much trying to do the same thing.

And news for Elementary fans: re. the Irene Adler situation (where she's supposed to be dead before the show starts)...

...to the surprise of no-one at all, she's alive. She will be played by the lovely Natalie Dormer of Game of Thrones and The Fades for the last 3 eps of the season.

To close for the night: who else thought the Mad Men return was confused and dull, except for the terrifying moment where the android Betty spun a paedophilic rape fantasy about a teenaged guest of her daughter for her husband... which was, at least, surprising.]]>

Portlandia in the past 3 days. Surprised by how funny it is (though I guess I shouldn't be; I don't think I would've watched it at all if I didn't think people might have been right about it).

As far as TV that's has aired this year: I still don't know how I feel about the season finale of Walking Dead, except it didn't feel much like a season finale to me.

I'm questioning my own sanity over it but I've started watching classic who. I want historical/cultural/character context that new-who isn't giving me so I'm going back to the source. The most surprising thing - the writing is still good. In fact episode one is straight up great television.

Also, working in the Doctor Who props department must have been the single best job in the country back then. Those guys were inventive.]]>

Plus it was nice to see Betty doing something instead of just sitting around being annoyed that she's fat.

The familiar and the unfamiliar--The new office stairway joining two floors shows the agency's supersized investment in the status quo. While the Greenwich Village stairs that Betty explores is in a dark, condemned tenement, like an old toybox of abandoned furniture, violins, throwaway/runaway offspring, and the loot from stores and trashcans. Midnight cowboys. Castoffs from the status quo. This is a point in time after the beat poet loft that Don used to sneak off to and before Annie Hall showed off her Goodwill store fashions in the 70s. Now Betty's back to her husband's just-as-dark mausoleum of a mansion, but with a jet black dye job. Goodbye Old Betty, hello "Elizabeth"?]]>

Spartacus ended superbly. That show came a long way - surviving a terrible pilot, the untimely death of its lead, the recasting of a major secondary character and the limitations of budget and the 300-style visuals to become a veritable story-telling machine. Grit your teeth and push through the first 3 eps (or watch the Blood and Sand prequel they shot when lead Andy Whitfield was ill but not known to be dying first)- once you're past ep 4, The Thing In The Pit, you'll be either put right off or on board until the bitter-sweet end.

Hannibal a lot more than I thought I would. I figured Mads Mikkelsen wouldn't hold a candle to Anthony Hopkins, be he at least holds his own in the face of the prior performances. Even though its set in current time, this series is a prequel to the other works and features Lector "in the wild" as a respected psychiatrist (and as yet unknown cannibal killer) at the height of his power and influence. I'll definitely keep watching.

Defiance is another pleasant surprise. At first it felt like just an amalgamation of elements of various other SyFy shows (the sheriff and daughter come to town like in Eureka, there's a bunch of space refugees like in Battlestar Galactica, aliens and humans have to work together like in Babylon5). And it is that, but in this case they create something at least equal to the sum of their better parts. I like the actors. I like things that are cliche (the children of two rival families fall in love) and the things that aren't (the parents of "Romeo" are somewhat horrible people who encourage the wedding so they can kill Juliet's dad and brother and take over her inheritance once their son marries her). No one's hands are clean here, but one's hands are completely dirty, either. Two episodes in and I'm already looking forward to the next one.]]>

Yeah, Hannibal's cast is the second most well dressed cast on TV after Mad Men.
Defiance also seems to owe more than a little bit to Deadwood.

I don't think anyone with any kind of a high profile will be the new Doctor. It'll be someone like Smith or Tennant, who's not nationally well known but on the cusp of making that transition.

Defiance and Warehouse 13 will be finishing in early July (and I'm caring more about the former than the latter). Venture Brothers is the only newish thing I'm eager to see. I tried both Sinbad and Primeval: New World. Sinbad was okay, but since I know it got cancelled it isn't exactly must-see. The first Primeval series struck me as silly ass bullshit that should've been a single episode of Doctor Who. Naill Matter really doesn't improve things. Probably the only other ep of this I'll watch is the one guest-starring Colin Ferguson.

I'll probably check out Under the Dome later this month, but don't know if I'll stick with it.]]>
